Mercedes 300SD Replacement Radiator Hose Information

A radiator hose is built tough, but it is one of the more vulnerable components in the Mercedes 300SD.

The reason for this is that the radiator hose needs to transport high temperature fluid under very high pressure for the entire duration of the operating time of the vehicle.

The radiator hose is also flexible, and so friction with other parts under the hood or vibration can wear it thin over time. The radiator hose is also subject to corrosion, if the radiator hose springs a leak, the loss of coolant will result in an overheating of the engine. Choosing a Mercedes was a smart choice, now keeping it in excellent condition is even more sensible.
